NLT (i.e., no later than) March 31st, I would imagine.
I would agree with jal that SP may become a bigger priority, not only b/c the PP investors want to see some appreciation in their shares (which can't be traded until four months after the PP closes anyway), but b/c PTQ will want to call those $1.45 warrants.
"The warrants contain an expiry acceleration provision that if the common shares of the Company trade at a weighted average trading price equal to or greater than CAD $2.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company is entitled to provide written notice to the warrant holders advising that the warrants will expire on a date that is not less than 30 days from the date of such notice."

16M x $1.45 = $23.2M
That gives PTQ an incentive to get the SP to $2/sh and keep it there for over 30 days. I especially like the fact that it's a weighted average, so if the SP drops below $2 briefly, it won't reset the clock. The only thing that will reset the expiry acceleration clause would be if the weighted avg falls below $2.
For this reason alone, I think we have a shot at seeing $2 sooner rather than later, provided there isn't some stupid clause that delays the starting of the clock until a certain time, like the trading delay on the 16M common shares.
The devil is in the details.
I'll call it like this ... $2 by the end of March, $3 by the end of May.
